Iridescent feathers. Looked blue instead of black sometimes. Picking around this yard for food.
800 Hz hi-pass filter applied on sound file to reduce wind noise. Canon PowerShot SX620 HS built-in microphone.
Saw bird disappear into brush, then heard calls. Northern cardinal also present.
Just heard the call at the beginning of this recording. The first was ruined by my cat. Otherwise, everytime I stopped recording I would hear it again. Is it an owl?
Mobbing red tailed hawk. Audio file attached
No visual but I made a similar recording earlier at a different location nearby and identified that one in the Merlin app as a Yellow-Bellied Sapsucker.
Possibly a sparrow, and either Fish Crows or American Crows
